(a) When a member has actual notice that a FINRA employee has a financial interest in, or controls trading in, an account, the member shall promptly obtain and implement an instruction from the employee directing the member to provide duplicate account statements to FINRA.
(b) Members shall not directly or indirectly make any loan of money or securities to any FINRA employee. However, this prohibition does not apply to loans made in the context of disclosed, routine banking and brokerage agreements, or loans that are clearly motivated by a personal or family relationship.
(c) Notwithstanding the annual dollar limitation set forth in
Rule 3220(a), members shall not directly or indirectly give, or permit to be given, anything above nominal value to any FINRA employee who has responsibility for a regulatory matter involving the member. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "regulatory matter" includes, but is not limited to, examinations, disciplinary proceedings, membership applications and dispute-resolution proceedings.
